Let’s get one thing straight: you’re not broken because you crave chocolate the week before your period.

PMS can feel like the ultimate sabotage — but it doesn’t have to derail your fat-loss goals. You can manage it and still make progress. Here’s how:

🍫 1. Don’t Panic About Cravings

Cravings increase due to hormonal shifts, particularly progesterone and serotonin dips. You’re not lacking willpower — it’s your biology. Instead of going full restriction mode, make space for what you fancy. Chocolate can fit into your goals. Period.

💦 2. Hydration + Magnesium = Bloat Beaters

Water retention = common. Don’t stress over scale weight. Focus on flushing your system with 2–3L water daily and adding magnesium-rich foods (like leafy greens, dark choc and almonds). It helps reduce bloating and cramps (National Institutes of Health, 2020).

🧘 3. Train for Mood, Not PRs

During PMS, energy might dip. That’s okay. Use this time to focus on:

• Lighter strength sessions

• Walks

• Stretching This supports fat loss without wrecking your body.

🍽 4. Keep Meals Balanced

Cravings hit harder when blood sugar crashes. Keep meals high in protein and fibre, with regular snacks if needed to avoid the binge–restrict cycle.
